BIO
Gordon Bashant is a resident of San Diego, after retiring from a surgical practice in Utica NY. He began painting about ten years ago taking watercolor classes at Munson Williams Proctor Institute in Utica . He has continued studies since moving to San Diego and has worked with various artists here and in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. He works primarily in transparent watercolor but also does some work in acrylics and mixed media. His style is expressionistic but based on realism. He distorts by both line and color to acquire the unique recognizable style. (Please click on the banner at the top of the page and visit the galleries at the bottom of this page.)
